From My Heart
I want to say a special thank you to everyone who helped with VBS this last week. It takes a huge number of folks to make everything run smoothly when you are dealing with the volume of children and teenagers who were here this last week. If I were to begin to start listing all the folks involved, I am sure someone would be left out, so I will not dare go down that road! But I am so grateful for everyone who made the week such a great success.
The National Sword of the Lord Conference begins tomorrow at Gospel Light Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, N.C. Please pray for the Conference to be a blessing and to stir the hearts of Pastors, Evangelists, and Missionaries, from all over the world, who will be listening. The services will be online, and you can watch them probably through the Facebook page of the Sword or Gospel Light Baptist Church. I am scheduled to speak on Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. I would certainly appreciate your prayers. Also, pray for Dr. Smith as he leads the Conference.
The summer months are quickly flying by, and CCS will soon be cranking up again. Our enrollment is steady, but we do have a few openings in some of the lower elementary classes. We have a few new staff members coming in this year, so keep your eyes open for some new folks and make them welcome. Please feel free to recommend Carroll Christian Schools to your friends and family members!
Several folks have asked my opinion on why President Trump and Attorney General Bondi are holding back the release of the Epstein Files. I am stumped with the whole matter, just like everyone else! I think it is just like a thousand other matters that if American people knew the truth, we would all start screaming from the rooftops because of all the perversion and wickedness that goes on in our government. Who knows how many world leaders, how many donors, how many folks who know and deal in national secrets, how much blackmail, how much exposed corruption (and that might just be scratching the surface) if all this stuff came out! I personally think it should be exposed, and people should have to answer for criminal behavior.
Truth is, there is no real justice in this world today! Who would have ever thought our own government would assassinate a sitting President, John F. Kennedy? With all the videotape and testimony from victims (dozens of them) in the Sean (P-Diddy) Combs case, he was found “not guilty!” Look at the lives that pervert ruined? Some of those who testified were minors when they were molested by that monster, but the jury said, “not guilty!” Righteous judgments are hard to find when self-preservation, power, money, and greed are involved.
Please pray for our nation! Have a great day.
Pastor Norris
